To me they sound the same as build 8004 but a lot better than 8010. Since I've installed 8005 I'll keep them on :)

Ok DooGie, thanks.

I'll give it a go asap.

I'd previously rolled the 8010 driver back to 8004 in Device Manager so I just updated to 8005 using Device Manager :)

No Tony it isn't a significant improvement. It's about the same.

Just finding this thread now. Been on the TechPowerup Realtek Unlocked thread for years. Anyone knowledgeable talking about it here? as Dolby and DTS are broken yet again this year in 14986.
